Following its success to mount a first, historic toy convention in Bulacan, the Malolos Toys and Hobbies Convention (MALCON) will be having a three-day kickoff or launching event on February 15-17, 2019 at the heart of the municipality of Pulilan, SM Center Pulilan.

What is MALCON?

MALCON is one of the Philippines’ largest toys and hobbies event located at Bulacan’s capital city, Malolos City. In 2018, the historic MALCON 2018 has acquired a record-breaking 6,000 attendees in two days filling the entire Malolos Sports and Convention Center. The first MALCON officially titled “MALCON 2018: The 1st Malolos Toys and Hobbies Convention,” which was held last May 26-27, 2018, was a feast and gathering of toy enthusiasts, entertainment and gaming aficionados, cosplayers, collectors and hobbyists.

The MALCON concept was inspired by various pop culture conventions across the nation and the globe. The at-first ambitious attempt to gather toy and hobby communities was a product of the imagination of Malolos City Mayor Christian Natividad, who also help the funding in mounting this very big project in Central Luzon.
